Chapter 10: The Late First Love 4

  She left, and Ling Shuiyue returned to the bedroom. Those few red tickets were even more piercing to his eyes: laundry money?

  Last night was like a dream, a beautiful dream he had longed for and couldn't shake off!

  He hadn't thought of Ugly Eight for a long time, and even last night when he was with her, he had completely forgotten about Ugly Eight. Was he an unfeeling man? Could time and habit really change everything? Would the comforting words he once said to Ugly Eight become a reality?

  All these years, he has never fallen in love with a woman, never! But now, he is so infatuated with a woman whom he has only met a few times...

  Ling Shuiyue leaned against the bed, saw the neatly pressed pillow, pulled it over, and lightly sniffed the remaining fragrance. In his mind, her soft and sweet fragrance appeared again... He suddenly threw the pillow away... That pillow was magical... It would drive the ugly eight monsters out of his heart...

  No way! Absolutely no way! He has her delicate blood flowing through his veins; they are forever one.

  What about Moira? What is she? Her unintentional frown, her smile, can all move his heart...

  Moira! Moira! Destiny!

  He lit a cigarette. The thin wisps of smoke once again led him to the end of the nine-year-long corridor...

  He almost rushed into the ward, he couldn't believe his ugly eight had left.

  After something happened to her, he couldn't even look at her once.

  He was detained at the police station with Mingde for only twenty hours and his ugliness disappeared.

  The bed was empty, the thin sheet spread out flat, without a single wrinkle. The sofa was spotless, with each cushion plumped up and arranged neatly. Everything was in its place, without a single messy or ugly mark, as if she had never been there.

  The nurse came to change the sheets and saw Ling Shuiyao standing there foolishly: "Little handsome guy! Sorry! We need to work, can you leave?"

  "Where is she? Where did she go?"

  "Are you talking about the patient in this room?"

  "Hmm. Where did she go?"

  "She went to America. Her injury we can't cure, her parents arranged a hospital for her."

  "Which hospital?"

  "How am I supposed to know?" The nurse looked at Ling Shuiyue who was about to go crazy, small in stature but with a big temper.

  "When did you leave?"

  "It's been eight hours. The weather is still okay today, should have boarded the plane already."

  Ling Shui hastily left the hospital like a walking corpse. Upon returning home, he stuffed his passport and jacket into his travel bag, shouldered it, and was about to leave.

  Ling Wei stood at the gate: "What do you want to do? First, you were detained for a day and night. Now where do you want to go again? I haven't even contacted your Aunt Xue, America is so big, where are you going to find her?"

  Ling Shuiyue seemed to be unable to hear Ling Weiyuan's words and silently pushed her away.

  "You bully me because I'm a woman, is it because you think you're stronger than me? You can go if you want, but first let me contact Snowy. She must be on the plane now. Wait until she's arranged everything. We'll go together!"

  Ling Shuiyue's strength was getting smaller and smaller.

  Ling Wei saw the effect and continued: "Look at you, what if you scare her when you get to the hospital? And your Snow Aunt, heaven knows if she's gone crazy now. You child, why do you always poke at people's hearts?"

  Ling Wei said, tears streaming down her face: "Her injury can be cured. I asked her doctor, he said it's no problem in the US, the problem is we have to work hard to make it happen, before she gets better, you must keep your Snow Aunt alive! Do you understand?"

  Ling Shuiyue fainted on the ground.

  He knew everything... Ming Xin was dead, Chou Baigui had left, and Ming De was heartbroken. He was no exception either.

  Muxi Xue didn't know how she left that confusing room. She rushed towards the elevator, she had to go home.

  When Duanmu Xi stood outside the building, she was stunned: Home! Her home was in this building, where else would she go.

  Muxi Xue returned to the 26th floor, her home was to the left of the elevator - 26B. She looked to the right of the elevator, which means she had turned right last night, and threw herself into his arms!

  Muxi Xue stood at her own doorstep, muttering to herself: It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!

  She stretched out her trembling hand, entered the password - 0229, and the door opened... Her bag was hanging on the coat rack in the entrance hall, with a pair of slippers she had just chosen underneath.

  Are they using the same password?!

  She had to be sure, she just had to! Musi Xuefeng quickly ran to the right of the elevator - 26th floor, building A.

  She hesitated, what if the door opened and he saw her once again 'throwing herself into his arms'?

  Perhaps he was drunk last night and didn't lock the door properly. Thinking of this, Musui Xue dragged her heavy footsteps slowly towards her home.

  After a hot bath, I thought of Xue in the bathtub: too messy! This night is too messy!

  She looked at the countless hickeys on her body, and her face turned bright red with embarrassment.

  That captivating scene of her and him appeared before her eyes, along with his deeply affectionate and enchanting gaze, disturbing her soul... Had she fallen in love with him?

  "I've fallen for him!" Musi Xue covered her mouth in shock, how could she say such a thing? How could she have such thoughts? He was just a one-night stand, a man she had only seen a few times.

  She didn't fall in love with him, she thought this way because when she was with him, she overcame her sex phobia.

  The ringing of her mobile phone interrupted her, it was Hua Jia.

  "Moira! My brother was fine yesterday."

  "Uh-huh. Alright!"

  "Why didn't you answer your phone last night? Luckily my brother came back early, or else I would have thought......"

  Last night was chaotic. Mu Si Xue muttered to herself: "It's probably in the bag, didn't hear it."

  "It worried me a bit. If it wasn't for my brother coming back, I wouldn't have known how to spend the night."

  "What's worrying you?"

  "You heartless scoundrel! Of course it's because you're afraid of being eaten by my brother."

  Muxi Xue almost dropped her phone into the bathtub when she heard Hua Jia's words: "How is that possible?"

  Hua Jia saw Hua Jia Hang walk in excitedly and hastily said goodbye to Mu Si Xue on the phone: "So early, something's up?"

  "Hua Jia! Brother misunderstood you before. This, I bought in Germany last year and want to give it to you." Hua Jia opened the box in his hand, inside was a necklace with a 7-carat blue sapphire pendant. Actually, this necklace was originally meant for Hua Jia, but when he came back that time they had a big fight, and in anger he put the necklace away.

  "Really?" Hua Jia just took a glance.

  "Don't like it? It looks pretty good. I have a better eye for accessories than I do for women, try it on." Huajia Hang said as he was about to put it on Huajia.

  "Wait a minute! No free lunch. I don't want to owe you a favor." Huajia glared at Huajia Hang, when had she ever gotten the better of him?

  "I was wondering why you didn't introduce me to Moira before, but I found out yesterday. At the critical moment, it's still towards my brother, after all, blood is thicker than water." Although Hua Jiahao and Hua Jia are half-siblings, they grew up together among their siblings, so their feelings for each other are relatively better.

  "Hua Jia was confused: 'Why would I introduce Moira to you? How...'"

  "That's two different things." How could Hua Jiahang tell his plan to this idiot sister: "Hua Jia, you didn't mean to say you don't know, did you?"

  "What's up?"

  "She has had an abortion."

  "So what?"

  "Your brother's most basic standard for finding a wife is that she hasn't had plastic surgery." Huajiahang felt somewhat regretful in her heart, anyway, the possibility of "one arrow, two hawks" was gone.

  "Are you looking for a wife? Whose wife is Rongrong?"

  "Damn it! How can you talk to me like that? Can Rong be considered my wife? Have you ever seen a wife who makes her husband wear a green hat every day?"

  "That's what makes you a perfect match, aren't you always making her wear a green hat?"

  "If she were obedient and kept to her place, would I be fooling around outside all day?"

  "You also know you're just messing around?"

  "So what do you think I should do? Don't just stand there talking, sooner or later you'll have a marriage like mine too." Huajia Hang was furious whenever he thought of Rongrong, if it weren't for the stocks in her hands, why would he marry her?

  Huajia Hang left.

  Huajia put the box away and threw it into the drawer: Huajiahang's words were a bit too much, but he was telling the truth. Her brother's marriage was just a transaction, and hers wouldn't be an exception either.

  Hua Jia truly regarded Mu Si Xue as a bosom friend four years ago.

  That day, Huajia Hang went to Chicago to see her. She originally thought that her father had only two mistresses outside, but Huajia Hang said that it was actually four. Moreover, each of them has children, which means she also has three younger brothers and one younger sister.

  This is her home. Her mother shares a man with five other women.

  And to make matters worse, he has to pretend not to know. The most infuriating thing is that his half-brother has never thought that their father's behavior was particularly despicable. In Hua Jiahang's eyes and heart, all of this was justified - only capable men could live like that, while incompetent men didn't even have the qualifications.

  She was completely speechless. The man closest to her was like this, would she still believe in and possess men in her life?

  At night, she had a few drinks and went to find her good friend Lili. Just in time, they were gathered around watching videos, Lili beckoned her over to watch together, she was extremely bored at first glance, but just one glance and she was drawn in.

  "Susan! Is Moira's handling for real? Are you Easterners really that intense about parents?" Lili asked Huajia.

  Hua Jia nodded. She liked the Mu Si Xue on the screen, although arrogant and unreasonable, but dared to love and hate, unlike her, who didn't dare say anything, didn't dare do anything, could only silently resent for her mother.

  She herself is strange, with a handsome appearance hiding a timid heart; while Muxi Xue's weak appearance has such great power.

  From then on, Huajia regarded Musi Xue as her bosom friend. In her eyes, Musi Xue was a passionate, straightforward, loving and tear-shedding companion.

  She cherished this friendship and believed that Muxi Xue felt the same way.

  What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?

  Immediately followed by a frantic and mournful scream.

  Bang! A loud and powerful sound of a door closing. Huajia's little sister-in-law Lin Rongrong rushed towards the stairs, panting heavily.

  Hua Jia's heart was also pressed back by this powerful sound of the door closing.

  They always are like this, really can't understand, they torment each other every day, why still maintain that messy marriage.
